Elmhurst Hospital Center is part of NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest public health care system in the United States. Our hospital serves one of the most culturally and clinically diverse communities in the world. The area surrounding Elmhurst Hospital is a magnet for immigration, with people from all over the world coming here to make a new life in the US.  We provide state-of-the-art care for anyone who steps into our hospital, many of whom have never had adequate medical care and often have nowhere else to go. Our hospital has an uncommonly close connection with the people it serves. This mission is at the core of what we do, and residents recognize the vital role they play in the community. 

 

As a resident, you will see cases every day that most people only get to read about in textbooks. For a physician-in-training, it is not enough to be exposed to rich clinical pathology. You need to have sufficient autonomy to make decisions yourself and sufficient supervision to guide those decisions and to get real-time feedback. Our dedicated faculty are a team of seasoned clinician educators who are committed to teaching and to the hospital’s mission. Our program’s character is one of enthusiasm, intellectual curiosity, collegiality, and engagement. Our residents also benefit from clinical experiences and research opportunities at Mount Sinai Hospital, a world-renowned facility and a premier research institution.

 

Regardless of your career goals, we will help you develop into the best physician you can be. We will be with you every step of the way, whether it means helping you find a research mentor, transforming you into a master clinician, or preparing you for fellowship. We believe that mentorship starts even before you begin your residency and continues well after you graduate. The relationships you build here will last a lifetime. Come be a part of this amazing place!
